That tile is really lovely. I’m looking to re-surface my concrete pool.
I found a website that will do a photo mosaic done in glass tile (http://www.susanjablonmosaics.com/glass-tile/photo-mosaic-glass-tile.html).
I’ve been working with the designers to come up with an ideas for a photo mosaic in my pool. Now I can’t decide between a sea scape or a coral reef.
Those are lovely. My husband and I (with help from our teenage son) are undertaking a pool tile project ourselves, sort of unplanned. Not the whole pool, just the sides and steps for now. I’ll be covering our progress during the summer. Good luck with yours!
Far better than the standard blue mosaic, a twist on the classic. There are so many options for the pools these days, just make sure the backing is fired and not painted on a cured.
